RE: The never ending mpg plummit
Those are all good points. I have neither reset the overhead before, or had the computer recaliberated for the larger tires. The truck has 4.10 gearing. Is that something I could bring to the dealer to have them do that? Also, my overhead is kind of messed up. Some of the things don't work on it when I bought the truck. The north east west south thing doesnt work, the temperature thing doesnt work. The only that works is the mpgs, the current mpgs, and the distance till empty. Any thoughts what I should do to make this work? Just reset the whole thing maybe? But you guys are right, and I agree, I love this truck! I dont care if it gets 5mpg (altho thats as low as id ever wanna go lol!) But its worth it, I agree!

You have a subwoofer in there dont you? If so, then I can guess what heading it always reads....

Yeah man, that sucks. Are you calculating it by hand as well to see how accurate the overhead is? Mine tells me I get like 14.5 but I only get 12 or 13 at best. I'm not complaining at all with mine, but surely you can get the same as well.

You have to make sure the compass is set for your region, and there is a way to calibrate it by holding down the left and right buttons while the compass screen is displayed. The compass reads calib or something to that effect and you have to drive around in a couple of circles to get it to calibrate correctly. It's all in the owners manual.
If you're getting a Ccd message it could be a short in one of the connectors in the overhead. Pull the console and check the connections.
